"Physiotherapy
is a health care profession concerned with human function and
movement and maximising potential: |
|
it
uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore
physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account
of variations in health status
|
|
it is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating
and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its
practice and delivery
|
|
the exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation
is at its core."
(Chartered Society of Physiotherapy)

Both
Russell and James have extensive experience as personal trainers
and training for specific sporting events. As physiotherapists,
we understand the need to continue rehabilitation once treatment
has finished, and to incorporate sustainable changes into lifestyle
and training. In order to do this, fitnizz work closely with
energyburst, a leading and experienced brand of personal trainers
within SW London. |

Sports
medicine encompasses preparation and training; prevention of
injuries and illness, diagnosis and treatment of injuries and
illness and rehabilitation and return to physical activity and
participation in sports, (Peterson & Renstrom 2001).
At fitnizz, we pride ourselves on our understanding of the motivating
factors behind individuals recovering from injury. This promotes
a joint approach enabling you to identify and overcome areas
of potential weakness. |

It
has been shown that the recruitment of deep-trunk muscles
and how they are recruited is vital for dynamic movement.
Hodges and Richardson (1996) showed that the co-contraction
of the core muscles occurred prior to any movement of the
limbs. This suggests that these muscles anticipate dynamic
forces which may act on the lumbar spine and stabilise the
area prior to any movement.
|
|
The
deep trunk muscles include Transversus Abdominis, multifidus,
Internal Oblique, paraspinal, pelvic floor, which are key
to the active support of the lumbar spine. The co-contraction
of these muscles produce forces via the "theracolumbar
fascia" and the "intra-abdominal pressure"
mechanism which stabilise the lumbar spine, and the paraspinal
and multifidus muscles act directly to resist the forces acting
on the lumbar spine.
|
|
At
fitnizz we work with you to find how to reprogramme and utilise
these muscles in day-to-day functional activities and for
improving sporting performance.
